If you had £10,000 to buy a watch for life what would it be?

**langdalematt** · 21st December 2010, 12:22

As the topic say's.

**jim410** · 21st December 2010, 12:25

DSSD. its that simple. :D

**Tai Mi Shu** · 21st December 2010, 12:27

A Riseman G-Shock. Everything else would just look battered by the time I'm 90.

**learningtofly** · 21st December 2010, 12:28

A Seiko Samurai.

**Puntsdog** · 21st December 2010, 12:29

PAM 088 for me. And loads of change (for straps). I just adore that dial.

**Argee1977** · 21st December 2010, 12:32

Panerai 233

**alex** · 21st December 2010, 12:34

At the moment im loving my sub ceramic so that without a doubt (plus £5260 in my pocket!)

**Tai Mi Shu** · 21st December 2010, 12:36

:lol: :lol:

**jjgreenwood** · 21st December 2010, 12:36

Rose Gold GO Sport Evo Panorama Date

**Daddelvirks** · 21st December 2010, 12:36

Don't know, couldn't say.
I have no wishes for such an expensive watch.
Sort of happy at the moment :)

Cheers,

Daddel.

**Guitarfan** · 21st December 2010, 12:38

A solar atomic G-Shock, the GW-5000, for a maximum of £300 new (less if used).

I'd spend the rest on the "life" part - pretty women, holidays and bourbon 8)

**Gilly** · 21st December 2010, 12:39

My tastes would change over time, so i think it would be impossible to keep it for life...

but right now i reckon i would have a second hand Hublot Ice bang....but only for its looks

**Gomers** · 21st December 2010, 12:40

IWC Big Pilot 5002
JLC Master Compressor of some sort
Rolex 16600
Omega Speedmaster 3552.59
IWC 3536 Ti
Bvlgari Diagono Scuba Chrono
Panerai PAM196
Panerai PAM025

I could go on...and on.... Let me PM my address so you can forward the cheque :wink:

**stiglet** · 21st December 2010, 12:42

DRSD

(if you can still get one for £10k :roll: )

**marksh** · 21st December 2010, 12:49

HI Matt IMHO buy a really nice 5513 for £4/5 and keep the rest because a timeless classic thats just so nice and useable you ll never tire of it ,nice dilemma to have though.

**langdalematt** · 21st December 2010, 12:53

Keep them coming, I am fascinated to see the broad sepctrum of tastes

**Kurtz** · 21st December 2010, 13:03

PAM 233

**flareslove** · 21st December 2010, 13:12

IWC Portuguese Automatic or a Seiko SBDX001. :D

**gentlemenpreferhats** · 21st December 2010, 13:15

For life? A solar digital G-Shock, and even then thats only back-up if my SBPG001 gets stolen. I suppose I'ld spend the rest on some unfunctional fashion frippery, like a Rolex or a Spring Drive :blackeye:

**TheFlyingBanana** · 21st December 2010, 13:17

Probably one of the new style Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

**zenmonk** · 21st December 2010, 13:18

IWC Portuguese handwound

http://www.watchtime.com/2010/01/sihh-i ... and-wound/

**pulga69** · 21st December 2010, 13:29

Fo me It would be after all these years, a 1969 Speedy and a 1969 Rollie (either Sub or GMT), which should fit nicely within that budget... :D

**Sweetwater** · 21st December 2010, 13:30

Seiko Spring Drive Diver.

**Sebastian** · 21st December 2010, 14:02

The GO Panograph.
I never even knew such a gorgeous dress watch existed until a few months ago...
Sadly it will be a long while saving before this beauty will grace my wrist, but one day.
Great review here: http://www.tp178.com/mh/gopanograph/gopanograph_1.html
Seb.

**Mr Stoat** · 21st December 2010, 14:07

Tough choice, but an IWC Portuguese would sit nice in my collection :D

**Paneraiseeker** · 21st December 2010, 14:43

For life impossible but if i had to it would have to be IWC Big Pilot

**alanski** · 21st December 2010, 15:04

theres only a handful of pieces that come into this category
something to wear for the rest of your life

ive had most brands out there but for the way i live it has to be a sports rollie
as i can wear it and not really worry about it as its so reliable .

for me it would be a 1665 / a 1680 red or white
or as already been said a nice matt dial 5513 .

if it was modernish it would be a sub date or a 16600 SD or a GMT c

i had this exact conversation with a mate on saturday

id be happy with just this 16610 i have on my wrist , i can go anywhere and do anything with it

**GOAT** · 21st December 2010, 15:35

I'd probably go with a portuguese 7day or a new Blancpain 50fathoms
unless a minty orange hand explorer turned up........
Goat

**100thmonkey** · 21st December 2010, 15:37

Panerai 232 & Keep the change!

**Andyg** · 21st December 2010, 16:41

The sensible option would be a bpff or 16600, however my dream watch would have to be a Minty 1665.

Andy

**Josh B** · 21st December 2010, 17:17

Comex SD (as recent a model as possible.)

would probably need to find another 20k or so though!

**peter2704** · 21st December 2010, 17:24

if i didnt have one already,A DSSD and then the wife an nissan x trail with the change(she wants another car,bang goes my watch fund for 2011 :evil: )

**Fishman** · 21st December 2010, 17:28

Right now if I have 10 grand I will get the rose gold GO Pano Date. All my watch purchases are for life, at least that is a key criteria when I buy. :D

**Carlton-Browne** · 21st December 2010, 17:34

I would say that a Big Pilot would have to feature somewhere near the top of the list; but probably just because I tried one on in Schaffhausen last Friday.

**Chinnock** · 21st December 2010, 18:26

Spot on for me too being a '69 babe!

**erasuretim** · 21st December 2010, 18:54

**IanV** · 21st December 2010, 19:18

I'd probably buy a nice s/h 18k Submariner for ten grand

**sevvy** · 21st December 2010, 19:28

Probably a Panerai 233

**aaroncosbey** · 21st December 2010, 19:48

What ever is worth closest to £10K and more importantly one that is desireable enough to sell for as close to £10K, then i'd buy a 2254 and pocket the rest :tongue:

Ps.. whats a DSSD?

Couldn't have put it any better, superb choices 8)

**LVE** · 21st December 2010, 19:56

Rolex Seadweller 16600 or IWC 3713 (with the IWC I need a PRS18 for beaches and swimmingpools)

**gee-whizz** · 21st December 2010, 20:08

Rolex Deep Sea, Sea Dweller.
(the big one on the left)

**TT300** · 21st December 2010, 20:12

I had the choice and chose the 16613 and would make the same choice again without doubt. In my eyes one of the most beautiful complete packages you can buy in a watch, again in my opinion.

**gee-whizz** · 21st December 2010, 20:15

I dont think there is a watch I would spend 10k on, even if it was given to me.

**Geralt** · 21st December 2010, 20:28

Breguet Type XX Aéronavale fly-back chronograph in steel with leather strap. Wouldn't spend anywhere near £10K either.

**Omegamanic** · 21st December 2010, 21:02

1972 EXPII
or
Patek Jumbo size sports on bracelet

Blancpain FF 50th anniversary.

**Wooster** · 21st December 2010, 21:07

+1

Theoretically the only watch on my wishlist.

**bokbok** · 21st December 2010, 21:11

well id buy a matt dial sub, a nice gmt, and a nice panerai and i may just scrap 10k if not i,d put too :lol:

**GIB984** · 21st December 2010, 21:44

As I was always taught as a school pupil to read the question carefully before answering, and then to make sure you answer the question asked, here goes:

Rolex Submariner Ceramic LV.

or a White faced Daytona.........

Or a Glasshutte Original Sport Evolution GMT..........

Or a Blancpain FF........

Damn it! Now I know why all my grades were rubbish :wink:
